java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to load native library

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to load native library

I'm using purely native NDK in my project (Native Activity). It works fine when I add Prebuilt static libraries with my .so in Android.mk file. But when I try linking Prebuilt shared library, it shows the below exception:

03-27 16:42:09.982: E/AndroidRuntime(1275): java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.irrlicht.example/android.app.NativeActivity}: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to load native library: /data/app-lib/com.irrlicht.example-1/libHelloWorldMobile.so

Here is my Android.mk file:

....

include $(CLEAR_VARS)
LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := /Users/karthi/Android/openal-soft-master/jni/OpenAL/include
LOCAL_MODULE := openal
LOCAL_SRC_FILES := /Users/karthi/Android/openal-soft-master/libs/armeabi/libopenal.so
include $(PREBUILT_SHARED_LIBRARY)

include $(CLEAR_VARS)

LOCAL_MODULE := HelloWorldMobile

LOCAL_CFLAGS := -D_IRR_ANDROID_PLATFORM_ -pipe -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti -fstrict-aliasing

LOCAL_C_INCLUDES := -I ../../include -I /Users/karthi/Android/openal-soft-master/jni/OpenAL/include

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := main.cpp android_tools.cpp game.cpp

LOCAL_LDLIBS := -lEGL -llog -lGLESv1_CM -lGLESv2 -lz -landroid

LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := openal

include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)

and in my AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity android:name="android.app.NativeActivity"
        android:label="HelloWorldMobile"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"
        android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
        android:screenOrientation="landscape"
        android:clearTaskOnLaunch="true">
        <meta-data android:name="android.app.lib_name" android:value="HelloWorldMobile" />                            
        <intent-filter>
                    <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

finally in Application.mk:

APP_PLATFORM := android-18
APP_MODULES  := HelloWorldMobile
APP_STL      := stlport_static

I have also tried replacing the last line by,

APP_STL := stlport_shared

What else should I do to link a prebuilt shared library with my native library ? What am I missing here ? Any help will be appreciated.

I have solved this issue by creating a subclass of Native Activity and loaded the shared library as below:

package com.irrlicht.example;

public class MyActivity extends android.app.NativeActivity {

    static {
       System.loadLibrary("HelloWorldMobile");
       System.loadLibrary("openal");
    }
 }

and in AndroidManfest.xml, I'v included MyActivity instead of android.app.NativeActivity. Got this solution from here . But is there a way to completely solve this issue without using java class?

1) In your openal module definition, replace LOCAL_C_INCLUDES with LOCAL_EXPORT_C_INCLUDES instead. The former is ignored for prebuilts, the latter will export the value to modules that depend on it. That will allow you to remove the corresponding path in the HelloWorldMobile definition.

2) Try adding "openal" to your APP_MODULES to ensure it is placed under libs/$ABI/, otherwise the library may never be part of your .apk, preventing the load of HelloWorldMobile.
